Geek Crusade invites you to pay your last respects to the late, great Oberyn Martell. Join us for our latest Dinner is Coming event as we celebrate the Game of Thrones fandom over food, conversation, and this time, funeral rites.

Requiem for the Red Viper

All praise the name of Oberyn of the House Martell, Prince of Dorne, the Red Viper and father to the Sand Snakes! Come join us for a celebration like no other in the Seven Kingdoms, as we bring the Prince’s body home to Dorne. Lay our sweet Prince to rest with us, then feast on the best that Dorne has to offer.

Inspired by A Song Of Ice And Fire, the high fantasy epic by George R. R. Martin, our latest dinner will begin with a solemn ceremony to commemorate the life and death of Oberyn Martell. This will be followed by a lavish tasting menu inspired by the cuisine of Dorne and the history of House Martell. Seats are limited to a party of 50, and here’s what’s on the menu.

Quentin Tarantino may direct the next Star Trek movie

Quentin Tarantino is boldly going where he hasn’t gone before – the world of blockbuster franchises! According to an exclusive report by Deadline, Tarantino has a great idea for the next Star Trek installment and he has even shared it with J.J. Abrams, who successfully rebooted the franchise.

Industry insiders say that the next course of action is to gather a team of writers who will work on Tarantino’s take and develop it into a working movie. If it works out, Tarantino may direct it while Abrams produces.

Tarantino is one of the rare contemporary filmmakers who makes original movies from screenplays he’s written from scratch. He has never really dabbled in the business of studio tentpole franchises, even though he has previously nexpressed interest in directing a James Bond movie. There’s no denying though that his work is heavily influenced by pop culture and he’s made Star Trek references in his films, most notably in Kill Bill vol. 1.

He is currently also busy prepping his latest original film, which is being developed at Sony. It’s been reported that it will be set in Los Angeles around the time of the Manson killing spree in 1969. He has approached Margot Robbie to play Sharon Tate and is said to be in talks with A-listers like Tom Cruise, Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt about the two male leads.

Tarantino is an auteur I admire tremendously – I’ve watched all of his films and have not disliked anything he’s done. To me, they’re either good or downright brilliant! So as a trekker, I am freaking out (in a good way!) at the possibility that he might take on the next Star Trek installment.

Can you imagine what a pulpy space adventure, from the director who gave us Kill Bill and Inglourious Basterds, will be like?! And we’d pay good money to see Samuel L. Jackson play a Klingon!

What do you think? Can Tarantino deliver a bold take on this established sci-fi franchise?
